Step up to better sound
When it's time to rock out, can your factory stereo keep up? With this nifty Clarion CD receiver in your dash, you'll rock harder than before without laying out too much cash. And it'll look pretty cool, too.

Improve your sound
Clarion designed the CZ102 to deliver sound quality that's superior to your factory stereo, with a strong built-in amplifier that gives you clean power with plenty of punch. You can use the MAGNA BASS EX feature to enhance the low frequencies in your music, so you get a fuller sound without muddiness. The 3-band parametric equalizer allows you to change the center frequency for adjusting the bass, midrange, and treble, so you get more control over the tone of your music. A set of preamp outputs makes it easier to add an amp or a powered sub — and the CZ102 even has dedicated subwoofer controls plus a low-pass filter that keeps your sub running efficiently.

Front aux input and a remote control
You'll find the front auxiliary input handy for plugging in a Dock & Play satellite radio, an iPod®, or any other portable audio player. You can also play your store-bought CDs, plus discs you've loaded with MP3 and WMA files. Clarion even includes a remote so a passenger can control the action.

Want to keep your steering wheel controls?
In most vehicles, you can use use an adapter (not included) to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this Clarion stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and the Clarion, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls. Check the "Accessories" tab for compatible adapters.

Why replace your factory radio?

Two good reasons - sound quality and cool features. A new car stereo offers power that's superior to most factory radios, along with more sophisticated tone controls. And most car stereos offer built-in or optional features that add safety and fun to life in your car, including inputs for your iPod or MP3 player, Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free cell phone calls, satellite radio or HD Radio reception, and connections for building an audio system in your car.

Product Research

that will playback CD-Audio, CD-Text, & finalized CD-R/CD-RW audio discs.

MP3/WMA Playback: The unit can

CD-RW discs using ISO9660 Level 1 or 2, Joliet, Romeo, or Apple ISO formats. The
player can recognize up to 8 hierarchical levels and 999 files per folder (or
999 total files). This unit is
compatible with, and will display MP3 & WMA ID3 tags up to 32 characters.

Disc-In-Play-Function: This feature allows you to turn the
power to the unit "on" and start playing the disc automatically when the disc is
inserted even if the unit is not powered up, as long as the ignition key is
turned to the "on" or "acc" position.

Top Function: The Top Function resets the CD player to the first track
of a CD-Audio disc or first track of a folder for an CD-R/RW disc.

Folder Select: This function allows you to select a folder
containing MP3/WMA files and start playing from the first track in the folder.

the first 10 seconds of all the tracks recorded on a CD or the first 10
seconds of the first track of all the folders on an MP3/WMA disc.

tracks recorded on a disc or in a folder in a random order.

Aux Connection

Auxiliary Input: The CZ102 feature a front panel 3.5mm
auxiliary input so you connect your external portable audio player or portable
satellite radio receiver to this head unit.

Aux Sensitivity: You can set the Auxiliary input
sensitivity level to Low or High to match the volume output of your
connected external audio device.

Audio Section

MOSFET Amplifier: The Clarion CZ102 is equipped with a
MOSFET amplifier. Compared to conventional power supplies, the MOSFET
amplification circuit is smaller and more efficient, and it delivers increased
power with less distortion and absolutely zero on/off switching noise. More
power means louder and cleaner music at higher volumes because you're not
pushing the limits of the amplification circuit.

CEA2006 Compliant: The power specifications for the CZ102
are compliant with the CEA2006 Mobile Amplifier Power Testing and Measurement
standards from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). These standards were
developed as a way to equitably compare power specs from model to model and
between manufacturers. The power output specs for the CZ102 are as follows:

Magna Bass EX (Extend): The Magna Bass Extend feature does not adjust
the low frequencies like the normal sound adjustment function, but emphasizes
the deep bass frequencies to provide you with a dynamic sound. This circuit
boosts bass at an ultra-low frequency of about 50Hz, creating a rich, deep,
defined bass rather than the muddy, booming bass of a standard loudness control.
What is more, boost levels are dependent on the system volume, resulting in
balanced system response and dynamic bass reproduction.

2ch/2V RCA Preamp Output: The Clarion CZ102 features 2ch/2V RCA line level outputs (Rear/Sub).
The head unit's preamp outputs can be configured as a fading rear-channel preamp
output or as a dedicated non-fading RCA
subwoofer output, with a low-pass filter and level control (+/-6).

Low-Pass Subwoofer Filter: The Low-Pass Filter (LPF) for
the subwoofer preamp output (when activated) will send only the low frequency
range through the preamp outputs to ensure superb performance with a connected
subwoofer. The low-pass filter can be set to 80Hz, 120Hz, 160Hz, or Through
(full-range).

Beep: The in-dash head unit provides an audible beep to
confirm button operation. This function can be turned On or Off.

Radio Functions

Instant Station Recall (ISR): You can store one radio
station in Instant Station Recall (ISR) memory and recall it from any mode
(except Power Off). Once the ISR station has been recalled, you cannot tune to
another station without first disengaging the ISR function. You can, however,
switch to another source.

Preset Stations: 18 FM station presets and
6 AM station presets can stored. Stations can be stored manually or automatically.

Preset Scan: Preset scan receives the stations stored in the unit's
preset memory in order. This function is useful when searching for a desired
preset station.

Local Seeking: When Local seeking is turned "On", only those radio
stations with strong radio signal can be received.

Display Features

Detachable Face Security: This unit features Detachable Face
Security. A face-fixing screw is supplied for making the face non-detachable, if
desired.

Note: No face case is included with this unit. An
optional soft face case (142DFC1X,
sold separately) can be purchased for this unit

H.M.I. Design: Clarion's superior H.M.I. (Human-Machine
Interface) Design features an easy-to-use rotary volume control and easy-to-read
illuminated buttons on the face which are laid out in an asymmetrical design to
place the most used features within a specific area for ease of use and less
user distraction.

High Visibility LCD: The single-line, 10-digit, high
visibility LCD
(with black background and white characters) on the CZ102 allows numbers and characters to
be displayed clearly in almost any lighting condition.

Illumination Dimmer: The
receiver's display automatically dims to a preset brightness when the vehicle's
headlights are turned on. The wiring harness includes an orange/white lead that
should be connected to the vehicle's parking light circuit in order for the
dimmer feature to operate.

Screen Saver: This unit is provided with a Screen Saver function which
allows you to show various kinds of patterns and characters in the operation
status indication area of the display in a random order. You can turn this
function on or off. If the button operation is performed with the screen saver
function "On", the operation display corresponding to the button operation is
shown for about 30 seconds and then the display returns to the screen saver display.

Remote Control

Wireless Remote: The CZ102 comes supplied with an IR remote control
(RCX001) for wireless operation of the CD player. The remote operates off of a
single CR2025 Lithium cell 3-volt battery.

OEM Remote Ready: The unit also features an OEM steering
wheel remote control input on the rear of the unit to allow you to keep your
vehicle's radio steering wheel remote controls when used with the optional PAC
SWI-RC Steering Wheel Control Interface Adapter (541SWIRC,

Adapter (120ASWC,

Won't play 50% of my cd's

Written By Tom, South Carolina on Tuesday, January 27, 2015

this item will not play half of the CD's I put in it. The scroll feature does not turn off, it continuously scroll's the feature's of the product like it would in a display at the store. Can't turn if off. Install was easy in my Honda, also was taking it out to replace with a Alpine unit. I can't return because box was thrown away.

Amazing CD Receiver

Written By Sonya, Pennsylvania on Saturday, January 03, 2015

"Coolness Factor"

Build Quality

Ease of Use

Sound Quality

Value

I will be honest I was worried about buying this when I saw how cheap it was. I have a 12 and 14 year old and they talked me into going ahead and getting it. I am so glad I listened to them!! They think its the coolest radio ever and we all know teens know what cool is lol. I was amazing at how great it sounded. I love to listen to my music with bass and this had all the features I needed to set up great bass boosters. The kids love the fact they have a remote to use now and don't have to scream mom change this or mom turn this up. Every one who gets in my car compliments me on how well it looks in my car as well. I would defiantly suggest this radio to my friends and family. If you are thinking of buying this radio stop thinking and just do it. You wont be sorry!!!

Pros:Great sound, easy to use, remote for safer driving, and it looks amazing!!!

Good value

I bought this for my 16 year old daughter. It works great for what she needed. Aux in for her iPhone and preamp out for a subwoofer that I will be installing after Christmas. Great head unit for the money!

Clarion CZ102

I bought this to replace my wife's CZ101. This model is a bit better and easier to use. For an entry level CD stereo, this easily compares to a more expensive mid level stereo. It does the basics and a couple of other features and it does them very well. It is in a 96 Honda Accord with upgraded speakers. If your looking for a stereo/CD player and listen to rock/80's style music and don't need an amp, this is a good one to consider. I would buy it again.

Pros:Red display, one knob which has a rubber side to it that is nice, mute button, easy to navigate controls, simple without a whole lot of options, not too much signal loss when using aux input on front of display.

Cons:None as of yet. Previous CZ101 model had a problem with the aux jack that was internal. Could not fix that myself and it was out of warranty. I'll be watching the current CZ102 jack, but don't expect a problem.

not happy

Not Happy with this unit all ready having problems tuner part quits working for like 25 seconds then restarts keeps giving me error code 3 which according to the book is a cd problem, was told to reset unit by supposedly a tech person who said he had no idea what was going on, so don't count on help from that front, hard to reset have to take off face get a paper clip and put in reset hole, you have no idea if it resets or not poor design, if it keeps up its a lost cause will rip it out and replace it

Pros:none

Cons: cheap radio poor design for resetting

Crutchfield response on Tuesday, October 21, 2014The stereo seems to be faulty - we won't know for sure until we get it on our test bench. Our Tech Support team is working with the customer to help him return this one and choose a replacement. Lifetime tech support is free with every order from Crutchfield, and our friendly 60-day return policy is there to protect customers from this kind of problem.

Great Price

For the price You cant beat this Radio. It was a test for my 77 Chevy C10 trying to find a good sound and having to cut out the dash. After putting it in and hearing the sound Quality I'm going to leave it in my Truck

Clarion CZ102

Tremendous value for the dollar. The install guide was o.k. but I needed to talk to a tech at Crutchfield who was obviously very knowledgeable. He was clear, simple and to the point.

Pros:Features for the dollar, well made, good looking and probably has better sound capabilities then the speakers in my car.

Cons:How things are set, I'm still trying to set the clock, and how to use all the features are almost electronically hidden. I am reading the book while I am trying to set a station, chance bands, etc.

Satisfactory Performance of Clarion CZ102

This receiver was used to replace a JVC unit that was stolen. It was easily wired and with the panel installation kit fit well in the available space on a '99 Ford Explorer. The Human Interface (HI) is a bit different but documented well in the information provided. I would recommend this receiver to others needing an economical, removable face unit.

Not bad. Could be better

This is a good buy for the budget conscious person. The biggest issue with this CD player is that its very tedious to make any adjustments to the sound quality. It has some pre-determined settings that don't allow for adjustment at all. I looks nice and functions well for the most part. If you are looking for a great high end cd player, this isn't for you.
